Spring has sprung and our desire to be outside grows as daily average temperatures rise and as quickly as the snow on the ground melts away. With each new season, comes new ways to get yourself in the game and on the move.
To help Sport in Aurora readers and community residents be in the know on how to get yourself and your family members on the move this spring and summer, we thought it would be great to outline some of Aurora's local sport organizations - LSO’s (many of which are also Sport Aurora members).
These LSO's are driven, dedicated and determined to help you play. And, often operated by volunteers passionate about their sport and in helping others experience the best their sport has to offer.
Aurora Diggers Girls Softball Association - Operated since 1972, the ADSA strives to develop strong female athletes while having fun, making friends and getting involved in Aurora’s community.
